Just in case for those who have not voted yet as they might be unsure which to vote (all great), listen this this :) maybe I can sway a vote Eruption buy Focus starts a beautiful orchestral bit turning a fabulous slow melodic tune a bit like perisienne walkways by Gary Moore, thereafter with a great drum into turning into a fantastic clever avant garde jazz master extraordinaire piece but instead of the sax or trumpet it's the guitar doing the prolipupupupu's lilipupupu's :) and thereafter hahaha it gets better Van Leer on the most explosive eargasmic mellotron coupled with Akkerman on guitars, all perfect insync, keeping building steps going higher and higher and higher to explosive nonstop brilliance!

OK let's dissect these.
Eruption - I first bought Moving Waves in 1973 - It simply is an astonishing work. Akkerman's guitar playing was in my opinion at it's peak. Tommy (in Eruption) is about the best guitar solo in the history of contemporary music. Incredible for it's time i.e. 1971.
Anonymus II - The first 2/3s of the vinyl side makes my hair stand on end. Probably the best orchestrated jam session ever....it feels that it was put to tape without any overdubs....just a band displaying it's mindboggling musicianship without the need of recording gimmickry. When Akkerman start's his electric guitar bit followed by van der Linden's extended (read boring) drum solo it loses me. Yes, it all went far too long but van Leer's manic flute work and organ flowing into Bert Ruiter's bass bit in the first section is etched in prog folklore (if there is one i.e. a prog folklore!)
Hamburger Concerto - great throughout - yes, yes, yes simply magnificent....but it's not quite as exciting as Eruption IMHO.

All essential but for the moment I'll vote Eruption just for that brilliant use of the melodic minor scale in the climax of this mega awesome classic that I like a bit.
Imagine (if you can) any other band that has a huge hit (Hocus Pocus) on an album only to have it obscured and eclipsed by the B side.
